What is the heat rating for the Pods? I want to mount them inside the fairing vent but it is in the proximity of the radiator.

I give them a 10 but look at the wires the set I got was used the wires had been close to exhausts heat and had melting spots on them. What bike are you putting these on.. I put mine on a 93 wing you have to remove the cowl I put mine on the cowl to shine inward into the fan area.

Dnt know exactly but I also have them mounted inside the fairings and two of them are next to the headers. After two years no led damage. I did notice discoloration on the wires though

I don't know the heat rating but I had them mouted under my fairings near the radiator and down the engine and they lasted two years when I had the bike. So very good product.

I have it installed on a liquid cooled supermoto. However for an air cooled application all that wouod change would be what you are tapping the temp sensor off of. Everything else can be hooked up. Trailtech uses specific model numbers for their kits as they can be specific to certain motorcycles, for a dune buggy that won't help you so there will be a significant mount of fab and adaptation required to get everything working. But it's not hard stuff.

Heat will fry amps up. If you mounted under the seat, that location holds much heat and likely the cause. Remount on the lower frame facing forward if the unit is waterproof, not resistant.

Yes, the temperature probably should be above about 50 degrees. Higher would be better. I installed mine when the outside temperature was about 80. They are real well stuck.

This is strange. I didn't experience any exceptional heat. What voltage are you using. They are supposed to be fed by 12 Volt.

Art - Save your money. Harley stopped selling these because it hasn't been proven that they work. If you're bike tends to overheat, get an oil cooler. An oil cooler is proven to reduce hot temps by 30 degrees or more. I just put one on my bike. Easy install even for a novice with decent mecahnical ability. Check out Ebay's deals too. I've gotten most of my Harley parts on Ebay. Hope this helps. Jim - 2006 Road King

I did not use them as I solid mounted mine, but normally you use the the plastic "tie downs" though the holes of the fan, then through the springs then through and between the fins of the radiator, this allows the the fan to move/float slightly without actually contacting the radiator or trans/oil cooler and damaging it. differeent ways to attach depends upon needs.

Yes, still runs hot, so plan ahead where you will be mounting it. Also consider heading to the local hardware store to get longer screws and stand offs to both increase your airflow under the unit and move it a bit further from your mounting surface (which reflects the heat right back to the unit).

Your gear ratio will depend on how hot it will get. Normal operating temp for that device is 140 to 160 anything above that your going to start asking for problems

Mine float, looks about 6 degrees or so. Had these on my touring/commute bike (Trek 520) since 2009 and love them!

Daniel: If you have a 4x5 foot piece of plywood set it up on some saw bucks and a couple of stools and you will have a nice plat form for the tracks and also comfort while having hours of race time. Also I have one of those things with 2 fans in it for my lap top computer and after each race it works great for cooling down the motors. If you do this you will keep from over heating them. Have fun

I recommend goint to the manufacturer's wesite at "http://www.thermotec.com/products/14120-thermo-guard-fr.html". Since This product is for light duty radiant heat and sound, i'd recommend a different product from them like 'heat barrier' items of theirs if you will subject the item to temps greater than 200-300 F degrees. I do not represent the manufacturer, I'm just a customer. :)

I have this and would not use it like that, would trust the 140mm mounting but not the 120mm on the plastic alone. Instead get a single 120mm fan shroud at least 1" thick and use the 120mm fan. This will eliminate any flat spots (center and outer) in cooling on the radiator. There are plenty of high quality 120mm fans.

Sorry, I ended up replacing my radiator before using this product. I'll put it on Ebay in a few days.

Depends on what you call minor. The idea of the radiator (coil) is to pass air through to cool the unit. As long as the majority of the coil is unrestricted (not dented) you should be good.

I have this amp hooked up to a 4-ohm 12 inch Pioneer and it is doing great. Wherever you mount the amp make sure you have enough room under and above the amp for ventilation so it can dissipate heat. Don't flush mount it to the vehicle carpet. I built a small ply wood mounting block for mine with about 3/4" gap between the board and the bottom of the amp for air ventilation and have had no overheating issues. Hope my suggestion helps.
